Hello world, I woke up with a headache and it still turned out to be a good day. How is that possible you say? Well, because I went back to sleep after I made Jason's lunch this morning. I woke up feeling much better, and then I got productive. :o)
Yesterday was a play in the pool for exercise day. I was beginning to think this "pool exercise" thing wasn't really doing me any favors, but I am still seeing progress so I'm thinking it must be working. I've also noticed (just last night, actually) that my legs have been getting more tone without me even knowing. Sneaky sneaky legs. I'm excited about this, because I would like to wear shorts without being self conscious about it.
Today all I've managed are a lot of trips up and down the stairs and hallway, because I've been elbow deep in a cool project today. I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow, and maybe even finish another one as well.

Today is Monday...right?
Summer vacation... a thing to look forward to, or a thing to make you lose track of your mind. It's nice not having to get up and drive first thing in the morning, but it's been bad for my ability to keep track of time and days. Obviously I've done various activities that count as exercise, but I keep forgetting to post about it, because I've running until I'm exhausted since school got out. More free time means me filling it with a bunch of stuff and losing any sense of anything. So due to my slack posting, I'm not going to try to remember what I've done since the 17th (my last post), cuz lets face it... there's no way I'm going to remember it all. So instead, I'd like to just start from yesterday. It was rather eventful, and totally worth posting about.
Yesterday I started with breakfast with my sister. Then we walked to the store for a news paper... they didn't have one, so we walked to the next closest store. That was about a 30 minute walk. We were home for a little while, and decided we really really needed to mow the yard, so we did. After that we moved on to the most logical place... the pool. We played and goofed off for about an hour or so in the pool, then went in to get some rest and get dinner made. The rest of the evening was tired, so there you have it.

Hey Everybody!
Your favorite super slacker hasn't been slacking as much as you may have thought....then again, I have no idea what you thought. hehe
I keep forgetting to post. My life has gotten busy the last couple months, and now that school is out I want to work on getting my posts up more regularly.
I have been getting exercise in here and there. Playing in the pool (using it as workout equipment and tricking the kids into thinking it's a game. hehe), washing the outside of my parents house and helping them paint it, walking...sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. You get the idea. I have to get back to getting the sweaty workouts in a few times a week too though.
On the food front, I have been adding in lots of yummy veggies and fruits (that I wasn't getting enough of before), and cutting out a lot of processed crap. My sister joined weight watchers a couple weeks ago. That has been helpful on the food front as well, because now we are both heading in the same direction in the kitchen...and we can keep each other in check.
I'm still trying to balance life. My work load has increased, which is a good thing, but the rest of life doesn't slow down so you can adjust. I don't have to pick up extra kids now that it's summer, and that has cut a great deal of stress out of my life. So I'm still juggling and balancing, and starting to sound like a bit of a clown here, but all the changes that have come lately have been good ones. (even when they seemed like bad ones at the start)

Sometimes you get what you ask for
I seem to remember posting about wanting to step out of my stillness and into the energy of the world around me... well, the universe was listening. My life has picked up like a swift breeze on a fall day. I have several design jobs that I am working hard at making progress on, I have plenty of personal projects that have been thrown on the back burner until I clear out some of these design jobs, my personal life has become demanding...so many things to do and people to see. I have to juggle this just right right now, or it's all going to fall apart.
We got the pool up and running, so that has been my favorite place to get in some exercise. It's so easy to get a full body workout in there...and it's fun too! Today I was helping mom and dad prep the outside of their house for painting. I was surprised at how much dirt we washed off. The heat almost did me in though. I was so weak when I came down off the ladder, and I was working hard at staying hydrated too. I probably sweat out as much water as I put in.
